Stump agrees with Letherman and Ashe that efficiency is one way of getting more done with less funding. But, Stump said, the county could face some challenges.

“I think the big problem is that people feel that they’re going to lose control over their local fire department or their local planning department,” Stump said. “So when these things are consolidated, you have to have the right managers that are going to be responsive to those kinds of feelings and problems because I can understand where the Goshen City Park Department doesn’t want to lose control to the county park department.”

The departments are already lost to the unions. TIME TO STAND UP TO THEM AND GET CONTROL BACK FOR THE PEOPLE THAT VOTED FOR ELECTED OFFICIAL.
